The New School Year Begins!

Well, we're here.  The new school year has begun.  The books are handed out, the timetable is up on the wal, and today was marked as 'the day'.

.

So, this morning (well, beginning last night, actually), my children began coming down with a tummy bug. 

.

Currently, I have FIVE of my children lying around groaning, chucking, and all of that WONDERFUL stuff. 

.

As well, I seem to have developed an in-grown toenail (ouch), so I'm hobbling around in bare feet, trying desperately not to whack it on any furniture as I escort little ones to the toilet, clean out bowls, offer a cuddle when needed, and such.

.

One has to wonder if it's not some sort of conspiracy;  suddenly, on the 'return to school' day, we're all ill! 

.

Ah, well;  I did read to them, and we did the 'introduction to history' cd - it's just a classic example of 'the best laid plans'.  I'm sure we'll get through it - and next week, NEXT week...........

We started school today. Yay~!! We actually managed to get through it too. Although - truth be told, Daniel is onto his last thing - Latin and it's way late - 4.45pm. At least he'll have gotten everything done. The others knocked off way early.
